August,
You might also consider the Contico Pro Tuff Bin. $85 from Grainger.

It also holds four L-16 batteries. You do have to keep the cables
short and low though.

Hi August,
Is $213.08 with shipping included a
good price for a store-bought enclosure for 4 each L16s?

Re: [RE-wrenches] Battery Boxes?
Joel - I think this is the tool box you mentioned:
Looks almost ideal. I'll let you know how it works. Best,

We build our own
boxes using a cement board like 4x8 sheets of Hardi Board--fireproof,
strong enough , with appropriate bracing, to take the inevitable '

acid resistance, coat the inside with an epoxy paint, like garage floor
paint. But for GTWB, it's mostly AGM's.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Battery Boxes?
Hi Wrenches -
We're seeing more
and more interest in grid tied battery backup systems in the Bay Area.
Anyway, I'm finding that off the shelf battery boxes are quite
expensive - the products from MidNite Solar, DPW, etc are all really
nice but super pricey.
Any recommendations
on battery boxes? We've been using L16 AGM batteries but we might be
going to a different size and shape. Any recommendations on favorite
batteries is also appreciated.
I hope you're all
enjoying solar high season!
Best,
August
